Synopsis

Of the spiritual odysseys which dominate the literature of nineteenth-century England, Newman's Apologia Pro Vita Sua is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest and most difficult. This fine edition has been reissued for the centenary of Newman's death. It includes all the variants resulting from Newman's revisions, in both the printed text and the surviving manuscripts, as well as detailed notes and a judicious introduction which provides extensive background to the ecclesiastical history.

Review:

`Dr Svaglic and the Clarendon Press have put all students of Newman in their debt.' Religious Studies `Provides almost everything needed by anyone wishing to grapple with the "facts and problems" which bear on the genesis of the Apologia ... Svaglic's introduction gives evidence of a sensitive understanding of Newman's spiritual difficulties ... has rendered an enormous service to all students of nineteenth-century literature ... There must be few works of comparable size which can be so rarely faulted as this superb edition.' Modern Language Review `Every library should have this edition' Choice
